Recapping CapCon with Jessica Watts

Published: March 1, 2019, midnight

NAHU held its 29th annual Capitol Conference this week with remarks by HHS Secretary Alex Azar, senior Trump Administration health policy officials, numerous members of Congress, and other key stakeholders. To recap the week's events, NAHU Legislative Council Vice Chair, and host of this year's conference, Jessica Watts joins NAHU's Vice President of Government Affairs Marcy M. Buckner. They share their thoughts on the remarks of Secretary Azar, as well as the sessions on how NAHU is working to oppose Medicare-for-All, the role of association health plans and the forthcoming final rule on health reimbursement arrangements. They also discuss the action items for members of Congress as part of our federal priorities, and the other ways NAHU members can interact with policymakers and fellow agents and brokers throughout the conference, as well as why those who haven't yet come to a "CapCon" should begin making plans for next year.
